The ILL ladies just phoned me to let me know that a book I'd ordered had been sitting in the ILL office for some time and was now overdue. Once we established that they hadn't actually notified me of its existence, they offered to renew the loan for me, and so I trundled up there and picked it up. So. Can anyone explain to me why I requested Penguin By Design: A Cover Story 1935-2005? It certainly looks interesting, and I'm always up for reading books on design, but I have no actual memory of requesting it.

OTOH, when looking it up on Amazon.com, Amazon suggested that I might like Image Factory: Fads and Fashions in Japan, so I think I may ILL that one. The one bad review on the front page, where someone picked it up for a fun read and was dismayed to find it a more scholarly tome than anticipated, has only made me want to read it more.

And I must make a note to order Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip - Book One, due to be published in October! Moomins! Moomins!

Can you tell I'm bored at work today?

Hee. :D I must have gone and ordered it right then, but have absolutely no memory of it. XD

I am somewhat scared that I immediately remembered what thread it was probably from. I suspect a need to get out more on my part or something...

THere's probably a paper in this somewhere - other people acting as my memory. XD

Now if only I could act as my own I'd be in great shape.

Nah, don't feel bad I did too and I ususally don't remember little details like that.

Those ladies at the Library, they the ILLEST. </beastieboys>

(yeah, that's about how it parsed, honestly, until I realized it was an acronym for Inter-library Loan...hah.)

:D I considered explaining what it was the first time, but then figured that (a) my friends would either know it, figure it out from context, or ask me, and (b) I was lazy. XD

Yay, Moomins!

Something about you wanting to know about green book covers and how well they sell ^^;
